I'd love to see a Pentaceratops as well, or even a Torosaurus.

Hello and thanks for your comments, I'm glad you like my models

About the next dinosaur I think a ceratopsian would be a good challenge. I don't know what species to choose but I want to model a not common one. For a 1/40 scale figure it will need to be a big ceratopsian (for example I like the Nasutuceratops). A small ceratopsian would be great too, although it would need a bigger scale.  If you have any suggestions, they will be appreciated

I'm now ordering some more, got the Ophthalmosaurus 1/50, Herrerasaurus, Hyperodapedon already now getting the Lirainosaurus, Herrerasaurus and Arsinoitherium in 1/40. These are really nice. I might suggest something on the ceratopsian however. Nasutuceratops is rather small at 4 meters or only about 4 inches(10cm) in 1/40. Something bigger but not common might be Sinoceratops. or maybe Medusaceratops.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

You might consider something more basal than Protoceratops, which was already well on its way to being a ceratopsian dinosaur, and somewhat derived Perhaps a 1/10 scale pegomastax or Yinlong, or even Koreaceratops, something closer to the family root for the ceratopsian family. They are all scantily reflected in the model and replica areana and quite appealing dinosaurs in their own fashion.

I'm building a very basic basemesh before I decide what species to model. Do you know any website where I can find good references? I'm looking for skeletal drawings to make the figures as accurate as possible, and some of the species you have suggested are easier to find than others. For example there is a great reference of the Pentaceratops HERE.

This is a screen capture of the "Headless Ceratopsian" XD

After I finish the big Ceratopsian it will be fun to model something like the Pegomastax

I second the pentaceratops. I'm excited to see what you choose.

I'm soooo excited Will you be adding tail quills, or not?

[Bokisaurus]

Late here, been out for a while... Wow, love your work! I got a few of them, but need to get the duckbill set and the mamma,too
I can't wait to see what other species you do, love the new sauropod btw

Many people mentioned it, so finally I have chosen the Pentaceratops.

Thanks a lot for the links

Thank you Bokisaurus!

I don't know right now. Maybe I could do two versions or include the tail quills as a separate model.


And here is the finished base mesh, now comes the fun part

[Joel]

Wow, it's looking great so far! Thank you so much for doing Pentaceratops! I'm going to get at least two, so I can convert one into a Chasmosaurus. I'd love to see you do a Daspletosaurus and/or a Torvosaurus at some point.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Would tail quills print out so well ?  That would be my only concern with adding them.

The Penta looks great so far !

I too wouldn't mind a Torvo..and of course an Allosaurus..if you have the time.

Aaron Doyle added quills on his Psittaco and Protoceratops models, and I think those looked really good. Or you could just customise it yourself when you get the model

I am loving the model so far. I have been hoping for ages for a decent Pentaceratops model. Will this be 1/40 scale too?

[Jetoar]

Well done again spanish friend  . You have a interesting web  .

[mb-cg]

Here is a work in progress image of the Pentaceratops model, that is not totally finished. Then I've to see what posture to use, so as always, if you have suggestions...

This is my biggest concern. I saw in Shapeways that the minimum wire thickness is 1mm, I have to see if it works well. Anyway, there will be a version without quills to avoid problems.

I'm modeling it thinking in the 1/40 scale and will do 1/72 version too. I've to see what was the size of the Pentaceratops to get the correct scale, I read it was about 8m long (20cm 1/40 - 11cm 1/72)

Thank you! there are not so many dinosaurs in my web XD

The Pentaceratops looks very cool so far! Two things I might consider adjusting, however:

• The outer two digits of each hand ought to lack nails/claws, with the hands rotated  slightly outward instead of directly forward.
  
  
• The orbit (eye socket) is probably a little to conspicuous.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

As far as poses go I like the rearing up pose and a maybe a bellowing one. Those would be pretty cool..especially paired with a theropod eventually.

[tyrantqueen]

Beautiful. I can't wait to order mine

Looks very promising. Agree that the eye is a tiny bit too large and prominent, also the outer 2 digits of the manus probably were hoofless and the manus should be turned slightly.
Will watch how this develops, interested in well-portrayed Ceratopians.

[postsaurischian]

The Pentaceratops is beautiful ! I will surely order me one.
I can't believe how fast you are. Incredible!

[Joel]

I love it, too! This guy will be great to go along with my other 1/72 dinos!

And I just got your 1/72 Ouranosaurus, Iguanodon, and Parasaurolophus yesterday, and they look fantastic with my Krentz dinos. I can't wait to add more!
